marlin - no fences to hold you back from the big drops up there punk!

kel - harsh, but promoting it as a hairdresser's car doesn't suggest any great aspirations so could be a good way to keep it! actually i'd love to paint it flat black, i reckon that would look awesome, handy for sponsors too... just whip out the chalk duster when you get a new one!

sav_man - not sure about up north, but from hobart myself and darren fogarty in the rx7, peter o'keefe seems pretty keen, an almost finished gtr down here with a guy new to tarmac rally, another new guy to tarmac rally that i went to school with in his yet to be finished l34 torana and a couple of others are talkin.

Sounds like alot of talk stu :P typical of our southern counterparts ;)

sorry Stu nothing personal- I can't help it that it's been the car of choice for ever hairdresser I've ever had :P

I'm liking that car as a chalkboard idea....

oh, well done to mark and sarah :D

You mean Russ? Mark was in the service park with me. Russ and sarah both did a great job. It was sarah's first go at navving, and she really did a great job. watching their in-car footage there was nothing left pace wise.

I must be having rally with-drawals finally.

I dreamt I was driving through a patato field last night! LOL

Oh me too! lol

Funny you say that, I had ice cream prior to bed last night and was driving through that field again, but in a 35! lol

sorry I don't think I will be able to treat the donut princess to the level you are accustomed to - r35s and 5 star accom. I hope you will consider a 20yo r32 and cabins to be "retro"

haha I don't buy it at all....maybe she is just being nice.

we ran in prod spec at targa, we'll turn the boost up for this and see how the old girl goes. will be interesting to see what the car can do too :thumbsup:

Mt stuart was good, nice and relaxed :thumbsup: I hope to get back there next year. Would love for some of you guys to come up!

I'm glad you had a good enough time to wanna come back up next year Ben. I'm afraid I let the SAU team down a bit with my little detour off the side of the hill. But in saying that we were having a pretty good go considering the absolute horrid rear end set up we had. But it's on the way to repair now so we'll be back for next year. I hope you can drag some others up here with you for a good fun weekend.

well looks like Ben has made targa change the rules, category 7 has moved to early modern. I notice the Porsche guys didn't care when a 944 won classic, but you can't have a Nissan wrecking a Porsche 1-10 finish.

but you would have to enter it as a std gtr as the n1 wasn't realesed till 1991(?) not that anyone runs the proper turbos anyway.

if the rules are being changed, the 400r should be put into s1 mod level.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
